Sean Truman, founder of the Truman Group, would later equate our experience as similar to that of incarceration, as the loss of human connection by isolation was so crippling, and what interactions we did have were but a sliver of what meaningful time together used to be. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div data-hook=&quot;rcv-block16&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #303030; font-family: futura-lt-w01-light, futura-lt-w05-light, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot; type=&quot;paragraph&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;mm8Nw _1j-51 roLFQS _1FoOD _3M0Fe Z63qyL roLFQS public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr&quot; id=&quot;viewer-5rc20&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #303030; direction: ltr; font-family: futura-lt-w01-light, futura-lt-w05-light, sans-serif; font-size: var(--ricos-custom-p-font-size,unset); line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px; min-height: var(--ricos-custom-p-min-height,unset); outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; display: block; font: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: var(--ricos-custom-p-background-color,unset); background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;&lt;br role=&quot;presentation&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div data-hook=&quot;rcv-block17&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #303030; font-family: futura-lt-w01-light, futura-lt-w05-light, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot; type=&quot;empty-line&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;mm8Nw _1j-51 roLFQS _1FoOD _3M0Fe Z63qyL roLFQS public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr&quot; id=&quot;viewer-1nb73&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #303030; direction: ltr; font-family: futura-lt-w01-light, futura-lt-w05-light, sans-serif; font-size: var(--ricos-custom-p-font-size,unset); font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.38; margin: 0px; min-height: var(--ricos-custom-p-min-height,unset); outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; display: block; font: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: var(--ricos-custom-p-background-color,unset); background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;I myself lost an aunt whose funeral I couldn’t attend.

There was a proliferation of webinars, online courses and micro-credentials. Even colleges and universities offered online enrollment.&lt;span style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: 6px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;4&lt;/span&gt; While everyone was saying there was going to be a light at the end of the proverbial tunnel, one prominent education theorist told me that many of these innovations (like hybrid learning) would be here to stay and we should continue offering them to accommodate all learners and these forward thinking schools could take advantage of a market niche that many schools were simply unwilling to accommodate. However, many of these education leaders that have been out of the classroom for years love to preach from their podiums on high, not aware of the hardships of classroom management of two separate groups of students: the ‘roomies’ and the ‘zoomies’. Do they really not know how hard it was to teach two separate groups at the same time? It was hard. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div data-hook=&quot;rcv-block27&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit;

Every country, every school and every teacher has had a different pandemic experience, so approaches to teacher professional development must also be varied to see what is effective for them. There is no ‘one size fits all’ and what works well for one school or region might be incompatible with another. For instance in South America, many local labor laws prohibit keeping teachers after school long after students have left so afternoon time for staff professional development is simply not an option. Consider these approaches: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div data-hook=&quot;rcv-block34&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #303030; font-family: futura-lt-w01-light, futura-lt-w05-light, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot; type=&quot;paragraph&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;mm8Nw _1j-51 roLFQS _1FoOD _3M0Fe Z63qyL roLFQS public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr&quot; id=&quot;viewer-38bq0&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #303030; direction: ltr; font-family: futura-lt-w01-light, futura-lt-w05-light, sans-serif; font-size: var(--ricos-custom-p-font-size,unset); line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px; min-height: var(--ricos-custom-p-min-height,unset); outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; display: block; font: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: var(--ricos-custom-p-background-color,unset); background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;&lt;br role=&quot;presentation&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div data-hook=&quot;rcv-block35&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #303030; font-family: futura-lt-w01-light, futura-lt-w05-light, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot; type=&quot;empty-line&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul class=&quot;public-DraftStyleDefault-ul&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #303030; font-family: futura-lt-w01-light, futura-lt-w05-light, sans-serif; font-size: var(--ricos-custom-p-font-size, unset); font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; list-style: none; margin: 15px 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;li class=&quot;roLFQS ULPWlI _3Kjjs public-DraftStyleDefault-unorderedListItem public-DraftStyleDefault-depth0 public-DraftStyleDefault-list-ltr fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-reset _1FoOD _3M0Fe Z63qyL roLFQS NSjbv&quot; id=&quot;viewer-4scd6&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; counter-reset: ol0 0; direction: ltr; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.38; list-style-type: disc; margin: 0px 0px 8px 3em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; position: relative; text-align: left !important; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;_1j-51 _1FoOD _3M0Fe Z63qyL roLFQS&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: var(--ricos-custom-p-color,unset); direction: ltr; font-family: var(--ricos-custom-p-font-family,unset); font-size: var(--ricos-custom-p-font-size,unset); font-stretch: inherit; font-style: var(--ricos-custom-p-font-style,unset); font-variant: inherit; font-weight: var(--ricos-custom-p-font-weight,unset); line-height: 1.38; margin: 0px 0px 8px; min-height: var(--ricos-custom-p-min-height,unset); outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: var(--ricos-custom-p-text-decoration,unset); vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: 700; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;Create, Advertise, Rinse, Repeat:&lt;/span&gt; We’ve expanded our workshop offerings and advertise them weekly through our principal’s announcements.

My team developed a ‘Project Based Learning’ module this year and will release a new course offering next year on ‘ESL Strategies for the Classroom Teacher’ developed in conjunction with our high school ESL teachers. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;mm8Nw _1j-51 roLFQS _1FoOD _3M0Fe Z63qyL roLFQS public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr&quot; id=&quot;viewer-eq98v&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #303030; direction: ltr; font-family: futura-lt-w01-light, futura-lt-w05-light, sans-serif; font-size: var(--ricos-custom-p-font-size,unset); line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px; min-height: var(--ricos-custom-p-min-height,unset); outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; display: block; font: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: var(--ricos-custom-p-background-color,unset); background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;&lt;br role=&quot;presentation&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div data-hook=&quot;rcv-block49&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #303030; font-family: futura-lt-w01-light, futura-lt-w05-light, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot; type=&quot;empty-line&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul class=&quot;public-DraftStyleDefault-ul&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #303030; font-family: futura-lt-w01-light, futura-lt-w05-light, sans-serif; font-size: var(--ricos-custom-p-font-size, unset); font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; list-style: none; margin: 15px 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;li class=&quot;roLFQS ULPWlI _3Kjjs public-DraftStyleDefault-unorderedListItem public-DraftStyleDefault-depth0 public-DraftStyleDefault-list-ltr fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-reset _1FoOD _3M0Fe Z63qyL roLFQS NSjbv&quot; id=&quot;viewer-bu3e7&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; counter-reset: ol0 0; direction: ltr; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.38; list-style-type: disc; margin: 0px 0px 8px 3em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; position: relative; text-align: left !important; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;_1j-51 _1FoOD _3M0Fe Z63qyL roLFQS&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: var(--ricos-custom-p-color,unset); direction: ltr; font-family: var(--ricos-custom-p-font-family,unset); font-size: var(--ricos-custom-p-font-size,unset); font-stretch: inherit; font-style: var(--ricos-custom-p-font-style,unset); font-variant: inherit; font-weight: var(--ricos-custom-p-font-weight,unset); line-height: 1.38; margin: 0px 0px 8px; min-height: var(--ricos-custom-p-min-height,unset); outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: var(--ricos-custom-p-text-decoration,unset); vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: 700; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;Survey the Staff and Hold them Accountable:&lt;/span&gt; Our director of teaching and learning surveys the faculty on professional development interests every year which largely influences our workshop content.

A classroom blog has numerous applications such as providing a platform for students to share their writing with a larger audience, practice digital citizenship and also create learning networks with their peers, potentially across different classrooms. I have used &#39;Wordpress&#39; and &#39;Blogger&#39; blogs have found both have their merits.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h2 style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&quot;If we are proponents of teaching writing, why does there seem to be so little authentic writing happening in so many classrooms?&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;As schools teach reading and writing skills, I have been fortunate to visit a number of classrooms with teachers and administrators and we often ask ourselves, &quot;&lt;i&gt;If we are proponents of teaching writing, why does there seem to be so little authentic writing happening in so many classrooms?&lt;/i&gt;&quot; Of course there are your token worksheets and fill in the blanks but much student work is done merely for the purposes of assessment and students may rarely see the work of others.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3mCbIa3qH2P6PM9VgBy85SjrTnNVZ8H1EblC8keXJEOqZNj8WiIDChKHu3RK1Tktio_ZUIbF-umfCAyXYNx7VrLow95P6Dc9dY-rL7WNi83A2NDijOY8sCCpDV6G1_K9o7JOyzvOcCihLHSpGdBVx0GomhoHImhh3uSiV9Jd_44wtDdUnYVU_F2BA/s2280/Screen%20Shot%202022-03-31%20at%2007.24.54.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1300&quot; data-original-width=&quot;2280&quot; height=&quot;247&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3mCbIa3qH2P6PM9VgBy85SjrTnNVZ8H1EblC8keXJEOqZNj8WiIDChKHu3RK1Tktio_ZUIbF-umfCAyXYNx7VrLow95P6Dc9dY-rL7WNi83A2NDijOY8sCCpDV6G1_K9o7JOyzvOcCihLHSpGdBVx0GomhoHImhh3uSiV9Jd_44wtDdUnYVU_F2BA/w434-h247/Screen%20Shot%202022-03-31%20at%2007.24.54.png&quot; width=&quot;434&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;A Snapshot of our Blog&#39;s Landing Page&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;Setting Up a Classroom Blog in Blogger&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Going to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.blogger.com/about/?bpli=1&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;blogger&lt;/a&gt; and creating a blog and giving it a domain name.&lt;/b&gt; (Your display name can be changed later)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Deciding if your blog will be public or private.&lt;/b&gt; This can be done in the settings.

It seems that the norm for many schools in South America is that shortly after the students leave, the staff are free to go as well creating a problem of not having enough time for curriculum work, or committee initiatives. Despite research supporting PD has having a positive influence on collective teacher efficacy, increased feelings of job satisfaction and morale, how do we offer professional development where there is no time in the day?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;Creative Ways of Offering Professional Development&amp;nbsp;When Time is Tight&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;p&gt;I had a professor in college that taught me &lt;i&gt;&quot;Within the smallest constraints, you can still find freedom&quot;.&lt;/i&gt; Ideally, it would be preferred to have more afternoons for this type of work, but for staff whom these early release days have been engrained, expanding the school day by an hour might be received poorly so here are some ideas that we have implemented that have had success:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Micro-PD&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Our school did this in Korea and our director of learning would send out small video vignettes that were less than a minute. For people who don&#39;t have a lot of time, this was an effective delivery system.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Course Catalogue Offerings&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We are expanding our course catalogue to offer PBL, UDL and ESL strategies that we are sharing with divisional principals that push out advertisement to their faculty weekly.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Workshops on Demand&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Like our course catalogue, we have expanded our workshops which we have listed in a database for reference and signups by department during department planning time.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Twitter&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With our school hashtag, we were able to share articles on professional learning and also curate these into our principals newsletter.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Related Posts&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://teachingaheadofthecurve.blogspot.com/2016/11/helping-your-staff-grow-professionally.html&quot;&gt;Helping your Staff Grow Professionally&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://teachingaheadofthecurve.blogspot.com/2017/03/micro-pd-delivering-professional.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Micro PD- Delivering Professional Development in Under a Minute&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://teachingaheadofthecurve.blogspot.com/2019/03/here-come-drones.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Here come the Drones&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://teachingaheadofthecurve.blogspot.com/feeds/6650771499149458/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://teachingaheadofthecurve.blogspot.com/2022/03/ideas-on-expanding-professional.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/339352807410233542/posts/default/6650771499149458'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/339352807410233542/posts/default/6650771499149458'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://teachingaheadofthecurve.blogspot.com/2022/03/ideas-on-expanding-professional.html' title='Ideas on Expanding Professional Development When Time is Tight'/><author><name>Gary Johnston</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16595005155000387104</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLCfa-IrXpryrnHSuq8JpH3YMYBR0BSNSDN8RBYikzym-1SI7KTtr-EwY5pbyM-eVbviLM3DaW9cRCKWnexPCoYR54k6lIDVeOHn9vU8iWPuzZ0uZczKv-jkgr4AHykGzUbHMngB8hr-82ckIYEhuAJa4ygGp-S7qAseTt4-dufKU/s220/Screenshot%202023-02-20%20at%2007.08.54.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6bTO0HR0QAvNu4w9PIS2nNgRPyleB3YzV2cEoywqG20Cc4x2W00Rz8hzG0HZ2XoD1G5GDKCUE9J2l-A-jlMqck6dtNhUevh3iXlEgqWyjT-3tpRghPe_Sc05B_Op7pxIS72c5bOuXC_hkkM77H4kzfLDK9mZuvqWboi2igMxHV97MqfMAVspgj563/s72-w356-h267-c/LOE.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-339352807410233542.post-5170889470285287336</id><published>2019-03-26T18:06:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2019-03-26T18:06:00.372-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Drones"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Drones in Education"/><title type='text'>Here Come the Drones</title><content type='html'>&lt;!-- wp:paragraph --&gt;

  8. &lt;br /&gt;
  9. It&#39;s inescapable that we are in the early stages of living with drones in our everyday lives. From packages being delivered from Amazon, modern warfare, and recreational use, the public has adapted to that familiar &#39;bee-hive&#39; like buzz at sporting events, beaches, and popular tourist sites. The wide shots that they provide at 4K are exceptional and I&#39;ve used them for marketing footage at my school for a variety of projects. It&#39;s inevitable that we&#39;ll look up the skies in the coming years and see a denser and denser swarm of autonomous bots delivering and returning items, and even monitoring crops as an extension of our workflow to enhance productivity on the ground.&lt;br /&gt;

  21. Others don&#39;t share that sentiment. More and more, drones are being denied flight time at monuments, airports &lt;em&gt;(for obvious interference&lt;/em&gt;) and even have been shot out of the sky or billy-clubbed to death by law enforcement upon landing. There are concerns that they could be misused for &#39;spying&#39; overhead in people&#39;s backyards as they sunbathe or people who are unsuspectedly filmed outside of their window while getting out of the shower. I&#39;ve read and seen videos of film crews using them to document conditions at inhumane livestock ranches, and Paul Scharre&#39;s book &#39;&lt;a href=&quot;https://books.google.co.kr/books/about/Army_of_None.html?id=CYV1twEACAAJ&amp;amp;source=kp_book_description&amp;amp;redir_esc=y&quot;&gt;Army of None&lt;/a&gt;&#39; highlights the terrifying uses of drone armies to modernize warfare with lethal packages and AI to coordinate autonomous robots on the battlefield.&lt;br /&gt;

  43. 1.) &lt;strong&gt;Don&#39;t neglect the orientation.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.dji.com/kr/products/drones&quot;&gt;DJI&lt;/a&gt; now has new users go through a multiple choice test in initialization involving a formative assessment to acquaint them with FAA guidelines, proximity to public areas and maximum heights.&lt;br /&gt;

  46.  
  47. &lt;!-- wp:paragraph --&gt;
  48. &lt;br /&gt;
  49. 2.) &lt;strong&gt;Familiarize yourself with country laws.&lt;/strong&gt; Some countries have banned &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.uavsystemsinternational.com/banned-restricted-countries-drones/&quot;&gt;personal drones&lt;/a&gt;. Some game parks in Africa don&#39;t allow you to fly in parks without a permit (which could be exploited by poachers) but youtube&#39;s creator studio has a lot of creative commons 4K footage in national parks.&lt;br /&gt;
  50. &lt;!-- /wp:paragraph --&gt;

  52. &lt;!-- wp:paragraph --&gt;
  53. &lt;br /&gt;
  54. &lt;br /&gt;
  55. 3.)&lt;strong&gt; Start conservative and get more daring.&lt;/strong&gt; There are user settings which can be customized based on experience and user needs. Typically, it&#39;s best to start with more conservative settings which result in slower maximum speed and a lower flight ceiling. Use this for your first 20+ hours to get experience and then raise your flight ceiling.&lt;br /&gt;

  59. &lt;br /&gt;
  60. &lt;br /&gt;
  61. 4.) &lt;strong&gt;Don&#39;t fly blind.&lt;/strong&gt; Once a friend and I were doing some guerrilla drone filming in an area that was off limits and we didn&#39;t have eyes on the machine. While doing a beautiful side pan, he flew right into a skyscraper.&lt;br /&gt;
  62. &lt;!-- /wp:paragraph --&gt;
  63.  
  64. &lt;!-- wp:paragraph --&gt;
  65. &lt;br /&gt;
  66. &lt;br /&gt;
  67. 5.) &lt;strong&gt;Get creative and practice.&lt;/strong&gt; Pull aways, tracking shots, sweeps, fly overs all can give a unique perspective. In the case of the the Mongolia video opening above, I practiced about 4-5 times before the actual shot to get the feeling of the fine motor skills needed for the tracking then pull away wide angle.&lt;br /&gt;
  68. &lt;!-- /wp:paragraph --&gt;

  70. &lt;!-- wp:paragraph --&gt;
  71. &lt;br /&gt;
  72. &lt;br /&gt;
  73. 6.) &lt;strong&gt;Avoid Buildings&lt;/strong&gt;. This might go without saying, but the more you shoot in urban environments, you&#39;ll start getting closer and closer to buildings. A sudden gust of wind may sweep the drone into a wall. Once, I had a metal column suck the electromagnets of the motors into it from 10 feet away.&lt;br /&gt;

  78. &lt;br /&gt;
  79. 7.) &lt;strong&gt;Make sure to enable the warranty.&lt;/strong&gt; Over a long enough timeline, you&#39;ll probably have a crash. The machines are pretty tough, and you might find that you have to merely replace a rotor. A colleague of mine has had 3 crashes and his warranty has ensured quick repair every time.&lt;br /&gt;

  90. I&#39;m in Singapore right now working on a video while on spring break, and despite research telling me that drone operation here was legal, I got the kibosh on my flying time shot down by local law enforcement and was told I needed a permit that was difficult to secure given my narrow window of time here. An easy work around is to search for drone footage on youtube and filter for &#39;creative commons&#39; which is free for the public to download and use. I found a user &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2ZB-H1FMeZVeGzKdq0SmaQ&quot;&gt;&#39;Timberland Pham&#39; and his site &quot;Phamtastic Productions&quot;&lt;/a&gt; had some good footage so I sent him a letter asking for permission and he was more than happy to oblige.&lt;br /&gt;

  111. One of the members of my PLN, &lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/dcnavis85&quot;&gt;David Navis&lt;/a&gt;, shared that he started a drone club at his school in Guangzhou that has swelled to 50 members that has started racing competitions, and even offered some of his students internships with companies that are developing this technology. Some of his students have been sponsored by companies specialized in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZvNLuC12R0&quot;&gt;competitive racing&lt;/a&gt;. One student even developed this &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.iflight-rc.com/index.php?route=product/product&amp;amp;path=20_107&amp;amp;product_id=618&quot;&gt;racing frame&lt;/a&gt; which is being sold (&lt;em&gt;How&#39;s that for entrepreneurism?&lt;/em&gt;) and even toured the company making the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ehang.com/ehang184/index&quot;&gt;Ehang 184&lt;/a&gt;. At the rate private international schools are innovating with tools such as Raspberry Pis, 3D printers, and robotics, I think we&#39;ll see &#39;&lt;em&gt;Drone Maintenance and Repair&lt;/em&gt;&#39; as a course listing 10 years from now.&lt;br /&gt;

in some of our Middle school science classes before a whole-school roll out, so I thought to share some resources and reflections.&lt;br /&gt;

  118. &lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Why Expeditions?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  119. The allure of virtual reality is it allows students to go where a conventional field trip cannot. Although there is no substitute for going to a place to learn about it first hand, what if you&#39;d like to take students to an international space station? Or through the human digestive system?&lt;br /&gt;
  120. &lt;br /&gt;
  121. &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
  122. &lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  125. &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Download the expeditions app&lt;br /&gt;

  130. You&#39;ll need access to phones in order for students to participate on expeditions. Typically, we see higher phone ownership in MS and in HS going to almost 100% ownership. Students (and the leading teacher) will have to download the &#39;Expeditions&#39; app and then through the app, the teacher will lead the expedition as a guide or &#39;lead&#39; and students will be followers or explorers.&lt;br /&gt;
  131. &lt;br /&gt;
  132. Browse a list of expeditions on the app or see &lt;a href=&quot;https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1SwqpZuW02qr5PC8IQBMCPgBFgFAJf-Fe2bCwBMzFoHM/edit#gid=0&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;this sheet&lt;/a&gt; which has photospheres and more descriptions.&lt;br /&gt;

but core competencies. Drowning kids in a &#39;sea of digital tools&#39; has been a problem that I&#39;ve noticed and there does need to be a cohesive vision of how to use them in schools.&lt;br /&gt;
  139. &lt;br /&gt;
  140. Coding is a response to the need for computer science degrees which are booming. As I&#39;ve perused free online courses on Coursera, Udacity and EdX, there is no field which is driving courses like computer science. Getting fluent in the language of Java helps average teachers manipulate data in spreadsheets and basic programming gives kids the ability to program robots. Here are some apps to get you started!&lt;br /&gt;

  151. &lt;a href=&quot;http://code.org/&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Code.org&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;-This is one of the easiest platforms to use. Code.org has a number of tutorials that use &quot;drag and drop&quot; programming that makes computational thinking easy to visualize and see. We used this for &quot;hour of code&quot; when I worked at Saigon South International School and after signing in with your account, it gives a series of lessons that students can go through at their own pace. Using fun sprites from &quot;Angry Birds&quot; and &quot;Plants Verses Zombies&quot; it connects to media that students may have used before and encourages persistence and problem solving. There are some extension coding opportunities for kids to apply programming skills on their own.&lt;br /&gt;

  198. Since most businesses and organizations have an online space to share their idea, I firmly believe having some coding skills will help with website development and marketing initiatives. We can&#39;t wait for the slow bureaucracy of education reform to catch up to the skills that our students need to graduate with the skill set to help their future earnings potential.&lt;br /&gt;

Use Categories to Have Multiple Inboxes&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  203. &lt;div&gt;
  204. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  205. &lt;div&gt;
  206. Some of my colleagues and students have not hundreds, but thousands of emails. With so much spam and promotional items coming in, separating them can be a task.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
  207. &lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
  208. &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLz0jp3g0auhXaU5h5yJ3OJMCj_f7VhkO_dqgoD8GVVFsKFtmeVtm07vPM-_kQt7h67KOwp82fDQ_qkW_s1UbM7Wk_06CKBIW4bZCsxT7QtmeU3GG4J9zm7kINrTw4SAltkq__z4fpqAk/s1600/Screen+Shot+2017-03-17+at+1.42.03+PM.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;308&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLz0jp3g0auhXaU5h5yJ3OJMCj_f7VhkO_dqgoD8GVVFsKFtmeVtm07vPM-_kQt7h67KOwp82fDQ_qkW_s1UbM7Wk_06CKBIW4bZCsxT7QtmeU3GG4J9zm7kINrTw4SAltkq__z4fpqAk/s640/Screen+Shot+2017-03-17+at+1.42.03+PM.png&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
  209. &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt;Select the gear box and select &quot;settings&quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
  210. &lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
  211. &lt;div&gt;
  212. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  213. &lt;div&gt;
  214. Simple go to the settings drop down page in your gear cog and select multiple inboxes. I like &quot;social&quot; and &quot;promotional&quot; and just focus on getting my primary inbox (which are direct emails) down to &quot;0&quot; by the end of the day.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
  215. &lt;div&gt;
  216. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  217. &lt;div&gt;
  218. &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;2.) Use the Drop Down Search&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  219. &lt;div&gt;
  220. Most new users to Gmail type a colleague&#39;s name in the search box in gmail. This is OK, but is very general as a search filter because if you search for &#39;John Smith&#39;, you&#39;ll get every email that was sent to him and by him.&lt;br /&gt;
  221. &lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
  222. &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr5SGiiSokm0tg0hE8fZdUnkiTe_B5ULGeFtzPgqy9iW2nvVzu2Q4hF2XV7xvWsirT2YQXwW86HwLzfNIfNQlOV-kZqTnjCo5v3kbjCHNl1gu1oCsW2HuZgr0JmBRmSelp7ufAdnybQ0I/s1600/Screen+Shot+2017-03-17+at+1.47.37+PM.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;452&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr5SGiiSokm0tg0hE8fZdUnkiTe_B5ULGeFtzPgqy9iW2nvVzu2Q4hF2XV7xvWsirT2YQXwW86HwLzfNIfNQlOV-kZqTnjCo5v3kbjCHNl1gu1oCsW2HuZgr0JmBRmSelp7ufAdnybQ0I/s640/Screen+Shot+2017-03-17+at+1.47.37+PM.png&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
  223. &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;The drop down arrow gives you feature of being able to filter emails from/to senders/recipients.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
  224. &lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
  225. &lt;/div&gt;
  226. &lt;div&gt;
  227. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  228. &lt;div&gt;
  229. &amp;nbsp;However, many people don&#39;t know that you can search for emails from specific people and also through key words, and within specific time frames.&lt;br /&gt;
  230. &lt;br /&gt;
  231. &lt;br /&gt;
  232. &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;3.) Customize Through &quot;Labs&quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  233. &lt;div&gt;
  234. In the gear cog under &quot;settings&quot; select the labs page and add widgets around your inbox. Consider adding Google calendar as a reminder of things to do throughout the day, a chat function and also themes to change with the year. &lt;br /&gt;
  235. &lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
  236. &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfLMHmAbv7WJbK_I9F3A91MR8HFOc_G27oeAuXcs1jP2McmiKn6Z8fRAqo-wGAontupAmOIFUk-uyReUc7ykrorYsYXfNNutpOTnnJQliM5HFxAt-6sgafc8xkRznCqf-_5ax9YLdLAEk/s1600/labs.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;296&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfLMHmAbv7WJbK_I9F3A91MR8HFOc_G27oeAuXcs1jP2McmiKn6Z8fRAqo-wGAontupAmOIFUk-uyReUc7ykrorYsYXfNNutpOTnnJQliM5HFxAt-6sgafc8xkRznCqf-_5ax9YLdLAEk/s640/labs.jpg&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
  237. &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;The &quot;labs&quot; function gives a number of settings that most users overlook.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
  238. &lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
  239. &lt;br /&gt;
  240. &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;4.) Rockstar Add-Ons&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  241. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Add ons are ways that you can add some functionality to your platform. Here are some of my favorites:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  242. &lt;br /&gt;
  243. &lt;ul&gt;
  244. &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/rapportive/hihakjfhbmlmjdnnhegiciffjplmdhin&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Rapportive&lt;/a&gt;: This shows a quick snapshot to the senders Linkedin profile.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
  245. &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/boomerang-for-gmail/mdanidgdpmkimeiiojknlnekblgmpdll&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Boomerang&lt;/a&gt;: Want to schedule an email to be sent later or on a schedule?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
  246. &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/gmail-sender-icons/jniljaamodclkmphgkgkooplflhkadpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Gmail Sender Icon&lt;/a&gt;-This shows a small snapshot of the sender&#39;s custom icon on your inbox.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
  247. &lt;/ul&gt;
  248. &lt;div&gt;
  249. &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  250. &lt;div&gt;
  251. &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;5.) Start Using Labels&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  252. &lt;br /&gt;
  253. Labels are different colors with titles that can be amended with divisions, or department. Simple click on the email and go to the label function and drop down to existing labels and colors or &quot;add new&quot;. I like this because it gives a color to emails that are easy to scan for without doing a drop down search.&lt;br /&gt;
  254. &lt;br /&gt;
  255. &lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
  256. &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSN9dVmdlBjLKq9LgirCLfNRQBPQkFi7UoIjP3uIxhAis5WyiJSBMt_yINOH4XaZl7CO35GgChP3bFI9U2PIc6ltXTXpbVEyhP8NPUs4xttPRrGwqKmIQhgX-2jXRsyu3Cgeor4hxs3ug/s1600/Screen+Shot+2017-03-20+at+10.10.21+AM.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;376&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSN9dVmdlBjLKq9LgirCLfNRQBPQkFi7UoIjP3uIxhAis5WyiJSBMt_yINOH4XaZl7CO35GgChP3bFI9U2PIc6ltXTXpbVEyhP8NPUs4xttPRrGwqKmIQhgX-2jXRsyu3Cgeor4hxs3ug/s640/Screen+Shot+2017-03-20+at+10.10.21+AM.png&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
  257. &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Label a sender to a specific group or &quot;create new&quot;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
  258. &lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
  259. &lt;br /&gt;
  260. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
  261. &lt;/div&gt;
  262. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

We have had a fishbowl model for a number of years wherein we would advertise sessions and staff would drop in. However, the successfulness was in the early stages was bolstered by lower teaching loads, and a &#39;newness&#39; to professional development.&lt;br /&gt;
  264. &lt;br /&gt;
  265. Our director of IT, Daniel Kilback has been delivering 1 minute vignettes which are called &quot;micro PD&quot;. Branding them with our school logo and having a common introduction with &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/motion/id434290957?mt=12&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Motion&lt;/a&gt;&quot;, they push out a Mac or Google App skill in under 1 minute. Many staff have commented how much they like it, and the time frame is perfect for our busy schedules rather than a 1 hour to 40 minute fishbowl session. Here are some examples:&lt;br /&gt;

My job description requires it. &amp;nbsp;However, there are some times when we should scale it back. Use a pencil and paper. Turn and discuss with your shoulder buddy face to face rather than use an online chat room. Although such places are used to accommodate reluctant speakers in a blended learning environment, are we merely enabling poor social skills?&lt;br /&gt;

  279. Earlier this week, a colleague brought his class to the fishbowl for a lesson I would lead on Green screen technology for a project. The lesson went well. I met with the teacher before hand to understand their objectives and created resources for him and his students to implement this technology in a way that it supported his instructional goals.&lt;br /&gt;
  280. &lt;div&gt;
  281. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  282. &lt;div&gt;

  285. &lt;br /&gt;
  286. It was what happened before the lesson that made an impression. The students filed in one at a time, sluggishly, sat down and without talking to me or to one another. (In their defense, they are teenagers) To break the awkward silence, I showed them the above video as a warm up and heard the following:&lt;br /&gt;
  287. &lt;br /&gt;
  288. &quot;But I couldn&#39;t put down my device, I need it&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
  289. &quot;Why?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
  290. &quot;I couldn&#39;t live without it&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
  291. &lt;br /&gt;
  292. For all the solutions that technology give us, it&#39;s ironic that we can so connected, yet so alone.&lt;br /&gt;

With busy schedules, and so much time being devoted to this or that, offering professional development that jives with everyone&#39;s schedule has become a new priority. Badges, and micro-credentialing has gotten traction, but with tight times, conference calls have become more and more popular as our buildings are far away.&lt;br /&gt;

  327. &lt;br /&gt;
  328. &lt;b&gt;What is Breakout EDU?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  329. Breakout EDU is a like an &quot;escape room in a box&quot;. If you&#39;ve never done an escape room, consider finding one in your area for a fun night out with friends. Basically, you have to collectively problem solve your way &quot;out&quot; of the room using the clues and skills in the room.&lt;br /&gt;
  330. &lt;br /&gt;
  331. &lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
  332. &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDwJ07vbV0oy8OThTgxu7jmNHHCmJB3Doy1OtbkvoZJkY52mpQgBrsY7dSPHCtm3P3pyV_N6CMVnIm3eGikXRV3_nOSPusNDDDRai43-rAXoePZtL-4zKSPL0slN_JMFhrtFHUdpxvGrQ/s1600/IMG_20170117_080623+%25282%2529.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDwJ07vbV0oy8OThTgxu7jmNHHCmJB3Doy1OtbkvoZJkY52mpQgBrsY7dSPHCtm3P3pyV_N6CMVnIm3eGikXRV3_nOSPusNDDDRai43-rAXoePZtL-4zKSPL0slN_JMFhrtFHUdpxvGrQ/s320/IMG_20170117_080623+%25282%2529.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
  333. &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Participants sift through ciphers, and information to open the box&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
  334. &lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
  335. &lt;b&gt;How Does This Connect to Education?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  336. The breakout EDU &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.breakoutedu.com/games/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;website (see link here)&lt;/a&gt; has been steadily growing with a number of games focused around a theme and also for grade level or subject area. I facilitated a session this morning for teachers as practice for our student counsel conference entitled &quot;Dr. Bore and the Quest for Hope&quot; which hinges on a middle school science environmental protection theme for an upcoming conference we are hosting.&lt;br /&gt;
  337. &lt;br /&gt;
  338. &lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
  339. &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoNU7Vvm8_1JchEcJdvIby4PlxTg-i3His_30pm7MxhYdXpBGNzHLbE7UZa8m0tJXutIvo4EvgK8aYiZp4mwO9yRm_Ebr2u5DL5KiUKdDEzodvgbOFyQtX2gDb9KAIu31G0WXU94Tx2vA/s1600/IMG_20170117_080647+%25282%2529.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoNU7Vvm8_1JchEcJdvIby4PlxTg-i3His_30pm7MxhYdXpBGNzHLbE7UZa8m0tJXutIvo4EvgK8aYiZp4mwO9yRm_Ebr2u5DL5KiUKdDEzodvgbOFyQtX2gDb9KAIu31G0WXU94Tx2vA/s320/IMG_20170117_080647+%25282%2529.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
  340. &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Students and teachers look for clues on printable sheets.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
  341. &lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
  342. &lt;br /&gt;
  343. &lt;br /&gt;
  344. &lt;b&gt;What Resources Do I Need?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  345. After you&#39;ve chosen an adventure, the activities have hyperlinks to reproducible, and a folder will be fine for keeping them together. The kit is just &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://store.breakoutedu.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;over $100 through their official&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt;website and has all the materials available (unique locks, UV light pen, etc) and the cost is commensurate with buying the components individually. A &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glSLwvR0EXo&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;time clock&lt;/a&gt; is also handy to have playing in the background.&lt;br /&gt;
  346. &lt;br /&gt;
  347. &lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
  348. &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2TGl9DeLfxn34-MFaXrbWX8VGT6060v2bGT1r9QvNmmDknEfsbP0qDAjvXyg4r9_KcEtA7cbHay5MM5A6Z2T0DelLnj00CzZR112gqQYCTKATEF7Ag5cKjvRw7feDlr7aCQo9QIAjbRg/s1600/IMG_20170117_080742+%25281%2529.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2TGl9DeLfxn34-MFaXrbWX8VGT6060v2bGT1r9QvNmmDknEfsbP0qDAjvXyg4r9_KcEtA7cbHay5MM5A6Z2T0DelLnj00CzZR112gqQYCTKATEF7Ag5cKjvRw7feDlr7aCQo9QIAjbRg/s320/IMG_20170117_080742+%25281%2529.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
  349. &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;A time clock add to the gamification element.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
  350. &lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
  351. &lt;br /&gt;
  352. &lt;b&gt;Tips on&amp;nbsp;Facilitation&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  353. It helps to be a participant in an escape room before facilitating it. It&#39;s easy to become frustrated and a good facilitator reads the pulse of the group dynamic when knowing when to chime in, and back off. If clues are not being solved in a way that gives groups success, gentle give suggestions without solving the puzzle outright.&lt;br /&gt;
  354. &lt;br /&gt;
  355. Debriefing the experience is vital. The thrill and exhilaration of opening the box is great, but reflecting on it is will better ensure retention of grit and tenacity. Some suggestions:&lt;br /&gt;
  356. &lt;br /&gt;
  357. &lt;ul&gt;
  358. &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;How did leadership emerge?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  359. &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;What was the most difficult part of the game? How did you overcome it?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  360. &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Was everyones suggestions listened to and considered?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  361. &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Where there any important clues offered by some of the quiet students?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  362. &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;What did you learn about this content area?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  363. &lt;/ul&gt;
